recently discussing stuff & realized that, now that I have friends, I’m really craving community

but my friends… mostly don’t really know each other, or only as passing acquaintances? and yall are, not accidentally, mostly pretty introverted w/ anxiety about meeting new people, and it’s not obvious how I would go about trying to bring internet friends from different communities together and try to weave them into something resembling a community, or if that’s a thing I should be trying to do

or where I would find the energy to do the work to make this happen

also a lot of these are structured to a greater or lesser degree around erotic one-on-one roleplays which is not, like, a dynamic that lends itself well to extension

@BunnieEXE I did that once, a few years ago… it was fun till it dried up. I framed it as an RP server / setting (eg channels were different places in a castle) and in hindsight I think I did a poor job of balancing (?) friends who wanted to exude a sexual energy w/ friends who did not want to be around that
